Enter Madam X painted in a shocking pink spangled dressHer teeth are perfect but her mouth is looseRubbing their hands together she persuades them that it's better to confessWhich unpleasant fate they'd like to choose

CHORUS: Every step might be your last Money signs are in your eyes sucker You've been taken in this time You might just get out alive if you're lucky All the vultures tuning in to Glitter Gulch Are looking in on you And they're hungry

he stood five feet tall in his elevator shoes and stovepipe hatHe was known by several different namesPrompted by Madam X he answered all their questionsAnd then after that he said I'm sick and tired of stupid games

CHORUS

We've got prizes if you can affordSome small humiliation before you get your rewardAnd I'd rather be an outlaw than an inlaw to youAnd to live my life in miserable povertyThan to have to grovel to have some dream home hovelSo watch me while I get away with prime time robbery

As he enters Madam X he thinks of red raged faces and the sweet greenbacksHe climbed upon his honey and he covered her with moneyAs they do their victory danceHe thinks I hope they choke upon their laughter tracksThey can all go straight to hell while we howl down the whole hotel
